Today’s video content landscape offers consumers an overwhelming number of options. Charter is responding to American consumers’ desires for more choice and more control over their video content with transformative agreements and offerings – expanding our industry-leading video affordability and choice.
- Putting Choice and Cost in Consumers’ Hands with Transformative Disney Agreement:
Charter’s transformative deal with Disney gives our customers what they’ve said they want from their video programming: more choice and a focus on value. Spectrum customers no longer have to pay twice for their favorite Disney-owned content.- In January, Disney+ Basic became available at no additional cost to customers who purchase a Spectrum TV Select package.
- Starting this week, ESPN+ is available at no additional charge to all Spectrum TV Select Plus subscribers, and when ESPN launches its flagship direct-to-consumer service, that also will be made available to Spectrum TV Select subscribers at no additional cost.
- Xumo: Making It Simpler to Navigate Video Content: Designed to improve customer experience with an easy-to-use platform featuring Emmy-award winning voice command technology, our partnership with Comcast to develop and launch the Xumo Stream Box integrates live TV, on-demand, and popular streaming apps in a single interface. We’ve already deployed over one million Xumo boxes, and this is only the beginning of our journey to help American consumers easily navigate a complicated video landscape.
- Ensuring Spanish-Language Content Availability: Spectrum TV customers with TelevisaUnivision channels in their lineup will soon have access to the premium, ad-supported version of their streaming service ViX at no additional cost, giving our Spanish-language customers even more content with additional flexibility.
Charter is at the cutting edge of video content offerings that put customers first and give them flexible and easy-to-use options. We approached each of these new agreements and offerings knowing that they would help chart a new course for how entertainment is delivered and enjoyed. But innovation never stops, and we will continue to identify new ways to provide maximum value to our customers.
